A man is facing charges after twice reconnecting an electric meter at his home after PPL cut off his power, officials said.

Michael J. Klitchko illegally restored electric power to his rented home at 7036 Debrecen Square, East Allen Twp., Northampton Co., after it had been cut off by PPL on May 8 and May 31, 2012, because Klitchko did not pay his bills, officials said.

On May 8, Klitchko cut a meter seal and removed the meter and two plastic sleeves used to stop the power flow, officials said.
